If you were laid off from OptumInsight I hope you

This job is not worth the trouble. It certainly does nothing for me when I open the "paycheck" every 2 weeks and see that despite my 40 "power hours" every week, I made less than last time. No matter what, I cannot manage to make a decent living here any more. I am over it. Sad to admit, and yes, the shame is on me, but I do wish for NJA or even better, to be FIRED from this place. Just had to get this off my chest before I burst into flames of fury at the horrid qu ...

Hi, everyone. A year or so ago, I read a message by a former transcriptionist who had gotten into medical school and was at last working as a physician. I'm sure it's still here in the archives somewhere; please forgive me for not digging it up. I remain grateful to that poster to this day. Yes, even if she was making it all up! It still inspired me so much. Last month I began work at only the second job I have ever held outside the MT field. It took me seemingly forever to find it, a ...

I am sorry to bring this up here, but I just wanted to know if anyone else who works for Optuminsight, or Axolotl is concerned about where the transcription portion of the company is going? I have noticed the workload has diminshed significantly since the takeover. There have been people who have been there for a significant amount of time retiring or quitting. Even the Optuminsight website says nothing about transcription nor does United Health Group. The letter to the c ...

less and less work and fewer MTs. Not sure what is going on, but the future doesn't look bright to me. ...

2 MTs are filing a TAA petition. 3 are needed to apply online ourselves. It is just a petition, nothing against the employer and, if nothing comes of it, at least we stood up to let the federal government know we are losing our jobs to overseas and due to technology. You would think we could get some help as IT people, auto industry, and many others do get assistance when their jobs are lost. It would be an interesting statistic to see how many MTs in this country hav ...

So... I've been at Medquist for about 6 months - I was a new grad so I only make 0.05 a line (I know, I know, save your comments about that people!). I actually have really good accounts so I never make less than $12 an hour so at least I'm not making minimum wage. But anyway I was wondering if anyone knew what people with a year experience start at and what my hopes are for raises in the future. Surely they can't pay me 0.05 forever, right?? right??? ...

He says "I have ordered blood tests to rule out the possibility of an inflammatory edemunothologic condition." Any idea? I'm starting to lose it!!!!!! ...

I am no where near as experienced as some MTs even though I have been transcribing for 12 years. Problem is, I have only done ortho. When my in-house job went with the service, I went to. Then my work was offshored, so I moved to a different company, still doing ortho, and making better money, about $40,000 a year. Now the company has lost that account and I am unable to go with it. I have been switched to an acute care account (clinic work only), doing VR. Can any ...

Hi, I did do as someone suggested and contacted via email Erin Brockovich, but we have to understand her organization does deal mostly with environmental litigation. I did try and summarize our difficulties and requested if she might direct us to an organization who might help us. In listing our complaints I found they were too numerous to list, and since we are virtual, I was not clear as to whether we could prove some of my/our accusations.&n ...

Well, just quit Nuance. Can't believe I made it nearly 2 years, after being at OSi for 5 years. They sent all my work overseas and there has not been any work there for the past month! After reading many many posts here I thought MT days were over! Then a job came up, I replied and for 2 weeks I have been working for a small local company, no VR, you can copy and paste for your lines (instead of it being against "HIPAA policies" per Nuance!) and what...a local Englis ...

I left an MTSO that started off okay to begin with, but the honeymoon ended shortly after with a barrage of e-mails to speed up, slow down, work more, longer, etc. I didn't realize how much this all stressed me out until I stumbled upon my new job which is THE most amazing company I've ever worked for! The pay is twice what I was making at my previous place. NO ESL, VR, only straight typing. Most importantly, an amazing caring and understanding TL. I am left alone to do what nee ...

Got fired from MModal two weeks ago after 12 years with them for not making quite the minimum wage for my state (one of the highest). I was devastated as only needed to hang on for 2 more years before retirement age and afraid I would not get another MT job after being fired for the first time in my life, but also a little relieved as I knew it would force me to find something that pays better, MT or non-MT. I took my daughter and baby to their pediatrician appointment a week ago Friday and got ...

Too many MTs on an account now that almost all of it is VR and shipped off overseas? Nuance COULD choose to lay us off (honorably) and eliminate a bunch of sassy MTs that have been around the block too many times to be run off with the trickery and disrespectful planted errors (that actually do compromise patient care and encourage medical malpractice claims). Honestly. I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. starts at the top. Stop lying when you acquire these new clinc MTs. They will NOT all ha ...

I am now an ex-Nuance employee and happy to be so. I have found a company (actually 2) that has work available, doesn't demand 4-hour TAT and let's me work the hours I choose without committing to a schedule as long as I do XX number of lines on the days I says I will work. The work I have had thus far has been, for the most part, good dictators, and the QA I have received has been very helpful, not punitive or downright mean, and my pay is punished by it! Keep your heads up and kee ...

I hear MQ employees are eligible under the TAA to get re-training paid for in another field, but how do you get "laid off"??? ...

Recently laid-off and I am looking for a job. I was just wondering, being an IC medical transcriptionist has anyone ever qualified for unemployment?? I know this is considered self-employed and most states will not give you benefits, but I was just wondering if anyone has ever gotten benefits being an IC. Thank you for your time. ...

4th time in 4 years. Sick of this!!! Will be finding something new to do. ...

I was laid off today too. I have been with the company for 8 years. I consistently make my quota by a long shot, at over 375 lph. I had my audit a month ago at 99.3%. I am a single mom trying to support my family, and no, there was no warning, no severance, no nothing. My supervisor said it is across the board, and she did not have an answer for me as to why me. I spent the day working on my resume and job hunting and came here to see if anyone had any answers. To those of you in t ...

TIER REGION PART TIME OR FULL TIME so that maybe we can find a pattern for this. We're sorry for you all but know you will be going to a better place. ...

It seems like a lot of the folks who were let go had been with MM a long time. Just curious if there is a trend here, do you mind letting us know what your e/t cpl rate was? Did they just let go of those who were making a decent wage? ...

Does anyone have any idea how many were let go today? It doesn't seem like many, but of course only a fraction of MModal MTs actually come to this board. ...

Well, it's official. I just got the call that I am officially laid off! I am glad that what I knew was inevitable has finally happened so I can move forward, but at the same time can't help grieving over the loss of what once was a career that I loved and was good at. It's not just the company I worked for; it's the whole medical transcription industry, so as of right now I am totally THROUGH with medical transcription! ...

Do I have options, or just wait until they fire me (why? this is crazy!). ...

Further down the board regarding TAA someone said they filled out an application online regarding the TAA benefits, and then made an appointment to talk with someone about the situation. Thank you for that information, I feel like I can try again. I advise anyone to read that post and take a different approach. As the original poster said, they have no clue how we are paid and it may make a difference, I never thought of that. One question, where do I find the application? ...

The biggest irony and the best thing we can wish for is that Webmedx gets eat up by Medquist and they lose everything! I was a QA and the editing on those accounts, especially on MModal was ATROCIOUS. Everytime you went to a new report you had to reset audio. EVERY TIME. Their software is the pits. It's no wonder they don't have good quality. The MTs were amazing with the work they did and were able to put out considering the horrible dictators and accounts, atrocious ...

Just wondering if anyone getting unemployment received a letter from their Dept. of Labor. It mentions HCTC (Health Coverage Tax Credit), TRA (trade readjustment allowance and RTAA (reemployment trade adjustment assistance. The letter mentions that I am a transcriptionist who worked for a named MTSO and now I may be eligible for retraining. I'm just wondering if the Dept. of Labor is now getting involved with our cause. ...

Recently, one of our local hospitals opened up 4 full time jobs to QA the work they are getting from their vendor. It seems the doctors were complaining about the quality of their reports. My hope is that other hospitals as well will see that you get what you pay for and that the lower rates they are demanding followed by the lower rates paid to qualified MTs working for companies like MQ results in the loss of the most qualified MTs and inferior work being produced by less qualified ...

I just finished typing a patient - 106 years old - NO past medical history, NO past surgical history, completely negative ROS, NO medications at all. She came into the ER for a tooth abscess! ...

If you were laid off from OptumInsight I hope you - me2

Yes, all but the one we worked for. I guess - thanks
